He came walking slowly, elephanting my way. She just stood there, elegantly hovering over the field of wheat. I could see some others poking their heads, trying see what’s happening this side. I waved hello, they giggled and scattered.

#5: Envelope Four – Vanishing ideas
Vanishing ideas visit us like small butterflies on morning flowers. They float away the minute you notice them, leaving behind the fresh but fleeing memory of their passage and it is up to us to let them live on in a piece of paper or a doodle.
I found that blogging allows me to revive those sleepy moments and to put down these ideas. Ultimately, a blog is mostly important for its author, by becoming the showcase of their chosen form of expression.
Hope you enjoy the ones you find here!

#4: Envelope Three – The Speckles
At first, it seemed as if the paper surface was uneven. I blamed it on the lighting and got back to the ink, but somehow the small speckles started swirling as if afloat in thick, bright gel. Then, from the corner of my eye, I saw them swimming. Not in a twitchy way, but smoothly, like the child of a lotus flower and a translucent medusa would swim.
They started populating my place and my imagination. As I got acquainted to them, I got to understand their liveliness and playful sense of humour and so we started getting along.

#2: Envelope Two – There You Go
Home accounting doesn’t have to be boring. I just can’t promise I’ll pay attention if there’s ink and a brush within reach.
Recipe:
Swiftly select a standard Vodafone envelope;
Note the perfectly irregular flowing that goes with the improvised chart;
Try to imagine the focus on the rather irrelevant subject;
Reproduce al gusto.

#0 – Things you would do on the back of an envelope.
Helping used envelopes getting an artsy makeover… and having fun with it.
How many envelopes keep passing through my hands? And how many times have I doodled on the back of an envelope? More than mere idle scratches on casual paper, I believe they provide the true expression of art in everyday moments. They are, therefore, my tiny graphic happenings.
In an age of decreasing small postal mail traffic, I would love to get my hands on envelopes from faraway places. Or, who knows, from just across the street.
If I get to cheer you up with this view, please send me an empty envelope of your choice, so that I can spice it up with my flash doodles. You know, one of those bank or gym envelopes that have fulfilled their role and you get across everyday and perhaps don’t even bother to keep anymore – It would mean the world to me!
I could see the cool company logos from your place and enlarge my collection!
Check out the still small but growing flow of envelopes I have transformed so far.
Whatever you choose to do, thank you for visiting Project Envelope!
